Holiday health tip #1:
- grab your cutest candy dish
- fill it with cut fruit - healthy choices at your finger tips through the day = Progress over perfection! No need to make the holidays hard than they need to be.

New favorite summertime, breakfast egg salad sandwich, and some fruit. Protein, carbs, fat, plants! Add some turkey bacon or ham and you’ve got yourself a tasty breakfast sandwich. I don’t like warm breakfast or dirty dishes so this is a great way for me to enjoy eggs on the run. What do you think?

Summer has started in Oregon! Fresh lavender from my yard. After it dries I use it for its scent in sachets, simple syrup for lattes and visual serenity. So healing in many ways. Park place perennials sells lavender hydrosol (water from distilling lavender oil) I use that on all my fitness equipment for disinfectant and joy. Enjoy your day! 💜

On the 7th day we rest!

A rest day is just as valuable if not more so than the six days of exercising. All body systems, including the mind, need to recoup, regenerate and rest.

What do you do to recover on your rest day?

This protein powder tastes like a cremsicle. Perfect for these hot days. These baggies are my travel packs so that I can be sure to get in protein when traveling. I have NO affiliation with protein powder companies.

What do you do when ...
Your flight attendant gives you a cookie for breakfast?
A) Throw it to first class yelling "FOOD FIGHT!"
B) Ask everyone in your row "if you're not going to eat that can I have it?"
C) Eat it slowly, savoring every bite so you can enjoy it for as long as possible. Biscoff's are buttery, tasty goodness after all.

Rick Rutigliano and Lori Patterson - what did you do on trips to Cali and Hawaii this week?

One of these is a technique I work on with athletes in an effort to eat intuitively, sometimes it leads to eating less and most often it leads to enjoying their food sooo much more without restrictions.

Built to Move Challenge Completed!

If you've followed my most recent posts you'll see that for 10 days I tried 10 essential habits from the book "Built to Move" by Kelly Starrett and Julie Starrett. Some I did better than others, but now I know where I need to help my body get healthier - balance, shoulder mobility and walking.

10 days - 10 Essential Habits - 10 ways to live life more fully, more comfortably, more enjoyably.

WHY did I share these with you?

You have the power within yourself to have a healthy and happy body. Every day you make choices that impact this.

I am passionate about helping people FIND THEIR GRIT. That inner strength that helps you move better, feel better, live life to it's fullest.

I'm don't work with elite athletes, I work with everyday athletes, people like you! And, I LOVE IT!

These 10 essential habits can help ANYONE! I wanted to make sure you knew that if you're struggling with aches, pains, a desire to feel better, lose weight, get stronger or just live your best life.

That hardest part about the challenge for me was posting the habits every day. It's been 25 years since I was a TV reporter and presented myself to the public on a daily basis. Media has changed, but the purpose remains the same - share information to make our world a healthier place.

I hope you found this information helpful.

If you buy the book "Built to Move" connect with Lori Patterson and I to share how it's working for you.

If you need more support or accountability than a book can offer message me. I am a certified personal trainer, nutrition and behavior change coach with specialized training in adults 50 and older.

You have have it takes to feel alive! Go get it!!

Vital Sign #3 of the Built to Move Challenge - Walking!!

You've heard it before - get your steps in. Seems so easy, until you try it.

Many athletes are shocked to discover that — even with their daily trips to the gym — they STILL don't get enough steps in.

That is because WORKING OUT is not the same as MOVING & WALKING ENOUGH, according to Dr. Kelly Starret and Juliet Starrett's book Built to Move. 🙌

Case in point today ... I did my usual 30 min of high intensity training (jumping my butt off!!) and still DIDN'T hit the recommended 8,000- 10,000.

I'm learning I can get off the floor from a crossed legged position pretty easily, my hips have good flexibility, but WALKING is a weak link in my health.

Looks like I'll be parking far from the grocery store door, making time to take a lap around the 'hood or walking to the local brewpub instead of driving (favorite idea!).

Click the link below to learn more about the challenge and book! Join Lori Patterson and I as we do 10 essential habits in 10 days using the book Built to Move by Kelly and Juliet Starrett. You don't have to wait to get fit to do these habits. It's essentials for life.
